Leveraging Technology and Techniques for Brain Health
Virtual Reality Technology for Brain Health
Veterans with mild TBI are getting lost in the transition process from Military to Civilian Life – The lack of coordination between the Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration, and civilian TBI specialists is literally creating a system whereby our veterans are routinely misdiagnosed or under diagnosed, and treatment is seldom rendered in a timely and customized manner. The treatment for brain injuries needs to be swift and injury-specific to avoid a downward spiral that accompanies TBI. We use our decades of experience in TBI treatment to deliver accepted brain recovery protocols with technology by empowering the warrior to take charge of rehab in the comfort of his/her own home.
Mild TBI is under diagnosed, and therefore under treated. To return to the “the new normal” after a TBI, rehab must be rendered timely, effectively, and individually. We are changing the narrative by empowering our veterans to take charge of physician directed/patient specific accepted treatment protocols through the technology of virtual reality. This is rehab for the warrior brain – administered daily and at the warrior’s own pace at the warrior’s own place – HOME – because the path to recovery is a journey to be shared with your family, not a destination to reach alone.
Most physicians treat patients who suffer from conditions they only studied in medical school. Chrisanne Gordon, M.D., not only treats patients with Traumatic Brian Injuries (TBI), she suffered from one in 1996. In order to assist patients struggling with this condition, she has written about her experiences in “Turn the Lights On!: A Physician’s Personal Journey from the Darkness of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) to Hope, Healing, and Recovery.”
Released on Jan. 4, 2018, the book chronicles her experience of living with a traumatic brain injury and her commitment to developing better diagnostic techniques and therapies while educating medical personnel on utilizing those treatments. Most significantly, she hopes that “Turn the Lights On!” will bridge the communication hap between TBI patients, their loved ones, caregivers, and health care providers. “I know what it feels like to be out of your brain, and I also know the path back,” Gordon says.
